Hi
Found a weird problem with SMS sent to me by T-Mobile and First Direct
When the message arrives it is shown to have come from "John Smith" who isn't in my phones contact list, however he is in my Facebook list BUT without a phone number.
Normally it would show the company name or sometimes 150 for T-Mobile.
If someone who isn't in my contacts sends me a text it is showing the number who sent it.
Anyone else had this or know how to fix it?
Got the same bug myself. Put in a new sim card and the same thing happened again, also the same facebook contact appeared. I just deleted it
OK I deleted the Facebook contact who was showing up (they are not that close a friend anyway)
As soon as I did the SMS changed from his name to First Direct
Not sure why it happened, or what I would have done if it was a close friend, but its fixed for now
I have the same problem, just yesterday... I havent tried to resolve it though..
Problem is I do not know how to delete this facebook contact...

Login to Facebook on your pc.
Goto Friends
Find the one showing up in your SMS
Click on the remove friend link down the left hand side and confirm removal
I had the same...the facebook contact had their phone number listed as '???'.
My (ex) friends number was "Ask Me"
Still not sure how that links it to T-Mobile (150) or First Direct (no number shown)
just posted about this, sorry, missed this post.
i have the same prob, my fb contact has no number but ask me instead. i dont want to delete the contact though, grrr

I wondered when that might happen.... I guess the best option is to delete them, then add them as a friend again?
Although that might bring back the issue, at least its worth a try!
Let us know how you get on.
Got the same problem. Problem is this is quite a close friend so I'm not going delete her.
Hopefully this will get sorted out with a patch or an update.

Just had the same too, hope there's an update for this, it's quite annoying!
Same for me, friends number is '0800 eat my leg' haha
Rather than writing rubbish in the number fields, why not just leave it blank? Stupid people on Facebook.
Same problem here with texts from Lloyds TSB and mobile fun! As a few others, I don't want to delete the Facebook contact to fix it as it shouldn't be happening to start with. :/
Found that the person was the only Facebook contact I had linked with a stupid phone entry. I have Facebook contacts hidden in 'People' and now none of them linked with silly numbers - I'll see what happens the next time one comes.
I don't think its just limited to Facebook linked contacts as mine was linking to an imported contact from Google but who had an additional business number listed as 'x' in the second number field. deleted the field then all was sorted

I have this problem too, when T-Mobile sends me an SMS. At the moment I've only seen Facebook contacts linked to the messages, 2 different contacts so far. One of them (happened just now) actually has her proper mobile number set. In both cases these people exist as contacts purely on facebook, they are not "linked" to a phone/google contact.
I've reported the problem to HTC support, I'll post if I get a reply. Please make sure you report the problem so that HTC are aware of it.
I'm getting the same problem too with my Orange Desire

My fb friend also has "ask me" grrrr
Contacted Orange and HTC to see if they know a fix to this, if not I'll just have to delete that contact.
I contacted HTC last week... just got the following back from them:
Thank you for contacting us. The issue that you have described is known to us, and we are currently investigating this. We hope to have this resolved in a future software update, and you are advised to regularly check the update feature on your phone in order to download any ROM updates as and when they become available. HTC greatly appreciate all feedback from our customers regarding technical issues, and please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Hopefully they fix it soon. The more contact they get about it, the higher priority they might give it (wishfull thinking!!) so if anyone is getting this issue please contact HTC via their support link:

Hey,
This has been a problem on my Hero as well. But contacts that sync with Facebook accounts that have the phone number added add the country code without the + symbol and that makes me not able to call the number without changing the number. This is REALLY annoying. I make the mobile number normal in the profile, but when I use the dialer to search for people I keep getting the FB numbers without the +. Is there anyway to fix this?
no one else is having this problem? I had it on my Hero as well!
yeah, i have the same problem, and all of us do... didn't find the solution yet though. Hope someone comes up with a solution...
its ridiculous :/
me too...
+1 for the ridiculous problem, that is.
Hey, guys.
In my contacts, I'll have most of my contacts' picture synced with their Facebook account. Their picture shows up while scrolling through your contacts and is in the small window when you select their information. However, whenever they call you or you dial them, their big picture doesn't show up when they're on the call. Their picture shows up as the default avatar. Anyone else have this problem or know of a fix?
Also, when I'm on a call and someone else is calling me, I don't have any notification that another person is trying to call me. No audio or vibration notification. Is there a setting to change this?
I'm running EB13 currently and having these problems. Thanks for your help.
I tried clearing the cache for both contacts and dialer to no avail. Any other suggestions?
Hi all,
Had my gnex for about 3 weeks now and absolutely love it! I've got haxsync or whatever it's called installed which is a nice feature to have. It works great for getting my contacts picture from Facebook and display them in contacts and anything related to that such as calls etc. However, whenever I receive a text from someone, their picture doesn't display in my notifications, just the text icon? Which is odd, because it displays their image if the same person sends me a message on whatsapp, e-mail me, or on facebook messenger. It even works fine if it's a picture I've taken myself, just not for those pulled in from haxsync..
It doesn't particularly bother me, I was just wondering if anyone else had noticed this, or, even better, if anyone know's why?
Sorry if this has already been discussed, I'm usually pretty good at just finding answers on here, compared to some. However I couldn't find anything this time..
Cheers!!
Hey lads,
Changed my firmware to WanamLite 1.5 (with the RedPill kernel) and just found out that when I call a saved contact, on the "Dialing" screen all it shows is the number and when I hang up it asks me whether I want to save the number as a contact. Happens on every contact a have (no matter if saved as a google or a FB contact) Any ideas why that would be happening?
I did just install HaxSync and synced the existing contacts. Though i couldn't find anyone else experiencing that particular issue with their app.
Thanks in advance for your input
